Instagib is a mutator featured in all Unreal games with a multiplayer aspect, except for Unreal II's XMP.
Overview[]
In an Instagib match, all players start with a Super Shock Rifle, a weapon that kills enemy players with a single shot. All other weapons and ammo are removed from the game, as are pickups (with the exception of specific items such as the Jump Boots), although in some cases, players may still be equipped with a Translocator. The Super Shock Rifle cannot be dropped.
Instagib is typically used in the Deathmatch, Team Deathmatch, Domination, Double Domination, Capture the Flag, and Last Man Standing gametypes. It can also be used in Invasion and Mutant, though the rifle's immense firepower defeats the challenge in defeating a superior force. It is not possible to use the official Instagib mutator in the Assault (except for in UT), Vehicle Capture the Flag, Onslaught, and Warfare gametypes, although it can be enabled for some of these gametypes through the use of mods.
In Unreal Tournament 2003/2004, a special variant of the Instagib mutator exists, called Zoom Instagib, which gives the rifle a zoom function similar to that of the Lightning Gun. It was inspired by a third-party Unreal Tournament mutator of the same name.

Configurable options[]
- Allow Teammate Boosting: If checked, should a player hit a teammate, the teammate will be pushed at a larger trajectory.
- Allow Translocator: If checked, players spawn with the Instagib Rifle and the Translocator in their inventory.
Trivia[]
- Arguably, this mutator has the biggest impact on gameplay of all official mutators.
- Because of the popularity of the combination Capture The Flag + Instagib + Low gravity + Team boosting, a later patch in Unreal Tournament 2004 adds the gametype Instagib CTF, with most of the required setups already in the options. The gamemode is also present in Unreal Tournament 3 and Unreal Tournament 4.
- The popularity of the Instagib mode spread to plenty of other FPS games (mostly free, open-source) including Nexuiz, Xonotic, OpenArena, and last but not least (and very especially), Quake Champions.
